Last post by southwesterly - May 04, 2026, 02:02:52 PMThis is honestly pretty unsettling but also really thought-provoking. The idea that systems like Palantir could carry forward something like Total Information Awareness under a different label makes it feel like these structures never really go away—they just evolve. What stood out to me most is the shift from human-driven control to algorithmic power, especially the "pre-crime" concept creeping into everyday governance. It raises a lot of questions about accountability and how much of our lives are being shaped by systems we don't even see or understand.
